Marsannay "Le Chapitre" 2019 Jean Fournier
Marsannay "Le Chapitre" 2019 is a fine red wine from Burgundy produced by Domaine Jean Fournier. It is made from Pinot Noir grapes which come from vines having an average age between 15 and 75 years old.
Interestingly, Laurent Fournier notes that younger vines have obtained better results because of the rootstock used. It expresses a splendid bouquet on the nose with dark cherries, black currants and delicate aromas of violets.
The palate is medium bodied with soft tannins, very velvety in structure with an almost crystal clear finish. Another wonderful Marsannay from Fournier: intense, deep and persistent.
